Retrial of Rula’s husband and trial postponement of Raya‘s slayer
8-3-2019
After the acquittal last October by the North Criminal Court of victim Roula Yacoub’s husband, Karam Bazi, accused of killing her five years ago (https://goo.gl/3yRbcg), the Court of Cassation headed by Judge Joseph Samaha, revoked yesterday the acquittal verdict and decided to re-try Bazi on March 8 on charges of severely beating his wife to death. The culprit will be tried at large. To note, the court has earlier conceded two requests by the North Criminal Court filed by attorney general, Judge Samir Hamud, and the victim’s mother, Leila Khury, after it ordered the immediate release of the culprit but was opposed by head of the court Dani Shibli. On the other hand, a hearing at the North Criminal Court was postponed yesterday in the case against Bassel H. (Syrian) for the rape and murder of young woman, Raya Francois Shidiac in Miziara for incomplete number of jury. A new date, was set for the next hearing on May 14th of this year.
